A drop in Kansas City homicides has some politicos talking about 2018 progress against crime but the reality is that local violence continues to trend upward when we look at the big picture.

Right now KCMO counts 119 homicides vs. 135 at this time last year. While the lower number is welcomed, let's not forget that 2017 was one of the most violent years this town has seen throughout its entire history.

And one AWESOME TKC READER reminds us that KCMO is consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous in the nation.

ALREADY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, KANSAS CITY INSIDERS REPORT AN INCREASING IN KANSAS CITY SHOOTINGS AND REPORTS OF GUNFIRE RINGING OUT IN NEIGHBORHOODS!!!

The word . . .

"Of course fewer murders is always the most important goal but the constant gunfire in some neighborhoods is becoming an issue. Again, Hyde Park & Southmoreland seem to be the hardest hit but you know there's a problem when we're getting constant calls to Brookside about random gunfire. That's not necessarily a hot spot for criminal activity but complaints about gunfire are on the rise. The only bright side is at least people are calling the police."

Of course more shooting eventually leads to more killing and there's a not-so-fun fact that deserves mention . . .

DECEMBER IS TYPICALLY ONE OF THE MORE DEADLY MONTHS IN KANSAS CITY AS HOLIDAY SEASON PRESSURE OFTEN SPARKS INCREASED VIOLENCE!!!

And so, KCMO struggles to retain so-called progress against homicides whilst the sound of gunfire on local streets resonates much louder than holiday tidings.

What about shot spotter? I thought that new toy was going to stop all of the random shootings. I thought that was the promise. I guess the only answer is more surveillance and even more technology to spy on the local population.

You people talk as if this is a uniquely Kansas City problem and it isn’t. St. Joseph is now the auto theft capital of MO. Columbia has a crime problem in certain areas.Springfield ditto. And we all know about St. Louis.

It’s a national societal epidemic. Too many people with no conscience, morals or fear of consequences.A total lack of respect for the sanctity of human life, morality and the law.That’s what it comes down to.

I’m not making excuses for KC’s homicide problem, however.

Like a lot of other areas, as I tell people about KC:“Nothing wrong here that you won’t see anywhere else.”

Nope, blacks don’t need an excuse to murder their own and especially hate crimes against whitey, they know petersucker, mayor and news media turn a blind eye towards these heinous crimes. They do it because there’s no penalty against them, now if your white that’s a different story.

The more hood rats kill each other, the better it is. That is the only thing that gets hood rats off the street. The courts aren’t doing it. Jean Petersucker Baker isn’t doing it. The problem is, we have an endless supply of hood rats.

The Police A.T.F. F.B.I. D.E.A. I.C.E.KNOW WHY AND I'M SURE THE.MEDIA HAS INTERVIEWED,THEM AND THERE NOT GOING TO REPORT THE REAL REASON. IT'S DRUGS GANGS. REMEMBER THE LURE OF EASY MONEY HAS A VERY STRONG APPEAL. YOU ALWAYS CARRY A WEAPON BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS CARRY CASH. AND IN BROOKSIDE .THEY ARE SHOOTING THERE GUNS IN THE AIR AFTER A HALF OF BOTTLE,OF JACK DANIELS. AND THOSE BULLETS FALL TO THE GROUND. DANGEROUS. I Y
